Ipersonally use humor and self-deprecation to address many issues in a non-threatening manner,and so I know I have done so with these. The reality is that it depends on the context of thesituation related to these issues. In some situations, humor (and particularly sarcasm) hasworked quite well in making others aware of how these issues are being perceived by othersaround them
because of their concern over the decline of surface water quality as a result of runoff from urban, agriculture, industry and other human activities. They wanted to contribute to the efforts in the Public Lab community to develop low-cost, DIY open source water quality monitoring devices. They began the project by investigating the open source water temperature, conductivity measuring instruments already being developed and documented on the Public Lab website including the Riffle (http://openwaterproject.io) and Riffle-ito (https://github.com/p-v-o-s/riffle-ito). Over the course of the semester, the team implemented their own Riffle-ito

There seem to be less interest by most of the faculty interviewed in the Page 26.1197.6process by which the course content is delivered during the lecture period, and more of a concernwhether the rate of delivery would allow the instructor to finish the course on time. The viewsexpressed by the faculty and the impression(s) arrived at by the author, leads one to believe thatit is highly unlikely that new more effective teaching-learning strategies would be deployed anytime soon, unless drastic measures are undertaken.

an array of active learning approaches that pique their interest and spark excitement about the possible outcomes for their students. After initial exposure to new activities, contextual questions naturally arise for educators, and a clear understanding of the essential features for successfully implementing a teaching strategy becomes necessary. Reflection activities represent one approach for active learning that educators reasonably have questions about before adopting the approach. Reflection is a topic that can have various meanings. For this project, reflection was conceptualized with the following definition: looking back on the past experience(s), to interpret and make meaning of those experiences in order to plan for the future [1
stakeholders, and a concurrent lack ofinfluence offered by more abstracted stakeholders. Another interpretation of this finding suggests that ethics in these teams was directed byand linked to a human-centered orientation. Many students were not able to expand thisorientation beyond overt or clear links between their everyday work and the specific humanstakeholders involved. This finding supports Zoltowski et al.’s (2012) discussion of theimportance of critical experiences in aiding students’ experiences of HCD. Critical experiencesmay include meetings with users or other events that students found transformative to theirthinking about the stakeholders and their user’s experiences.

This is obfuscating since it is not clear to the authors whether the reviewer isreferring to the first sentence of the third paragraph in the abstract or that in the section on“Introduction and Philosophy”. Nevertheless, we examine both and make a change to the firstsentence of the third paragraph in the abstract: • “Problems in polar coordinates are complex in comparison to those in rectilinear coordinates. This is because of the requirement of symmetry boundary conditions or the neglect of constants of integration to avoid singularity type of errors when solving polar coordinate problems analytically.” has been

Most students were able to identify potential moral or ethicalproblems and were also able to draw appropriate connections between personal morals, the Codeof Ethics for Engineers, and the situations described in the cases. Not surprisingly, studentsoften took strong positions surrounding the central issue(s) in the cases. The main difficultystudents had with was articulating a counter perspective when they perceived a clear ethicalproblem.The papers were evaluated using a scoring rubric in which points were awarded for addressingthe guiding questions (10 points), quality of writing (5 points), and how well they justified theirfinal position on the case (5 points).

They met annually as a working groupthrough the late 1940s and early 1950s to create a common framework for the characterizationand assessment of educational activities. Their goal was to create a common hierarchal set ofterms and language that characterized educational objectives in a uniform and repeatable way.The publication describing their early work presented the concept of three domains ofeducational activities. Those domains included the cognitive, which deals with the recognitionof knowledge and the progressive development of intellectual abilities; the affective domain,which describes changes in interests, attitudes, and values; and the

For thatreason, using contractions or beginning a sentence with a conjunction is too informal for most engineeringdocuments.References1. R. House, A. Watt, and J.
